Those only took 30 seconds to find using the SEARCH function. It CAN be your friend.

 

Waterpump for sure....the pump itself is probably good, its the O-rings that die.

I've done two of them, and both times i just changed the whole pump.

 

With the PITA spot it's in, I'd never swap out just the o-rings.

And OP: Yes, it is the waterpump.

 

My bet is on a waterpump, actually the water pump seal, but non the less the water pump needs to be changed.

Not a hard job, it is a tight fit. follow instuctions found in the sticky, get a new tensioner while you are in there. I did have to remove the engine mount and move the engine slightly.

Other than have some good gloves or band-aids.

good luck.
